11.1 Decrement and increment operators

Increment and decrement of integers are supported using the builtins incr and decr:

incr(number) decr(number)

which expand to the numerical value of number, incremented, or decremented, respectively, by one.

incr(4) =>5 decr(7) =>6

The builtin macros incr and decr are recognized only when given arguments.
